Most people come into sobriety on the heels of some serious life conditions so there are legimitate reasons to feel anxious, depressed, irritable, pessimistic, etc. But when the symptoms don't seem to match up with what is going on in your life, or when they just never seem to go away, it could be a chemical imbalance. .
.
Serotonin deficiency seems to be the most common mood problem - not just among people in recovery but most people with mood disorders. Serotonin is the primary defense against anxiety and depression so getting its balance corrected is critical. When serotonin levels are optimized, the mind begins transmitting positive feelings and optimistic thoughts. If it's not, thoughts tend to be dark and disturbing. .
.
Although there is a time and place for pharmaceutical intervention, if we can avoid it with nutritional supplementation, all the better. A lot of drugs - particularly opioids and alcohol - tend to crush the brain's natural ability to make serotonin. Since it is synthesized directly from 5-HTP, supplementing this amino acid has worked wonders for so many people. Read "RULE 5" on our website for more info. .
.
Although each case is different, a general approach is two doses throughout the day - one in mid-afternoon and one 1-2 hours before bedtime. The dose should be between 50-150mg on an empty stomach.
.
.
You'll know when the serotonin stores are filled up because you might even notice feeling too relaxed during the day, even sleepy, or you may get a headache shortly after you take your dose. These are signs that you have corrected the deficiency and can back off from the supplement.
